Lyrics [edit]

"Solitary Again (Naturally)" is an introspective ballad. In the offset verse, the vocaliser contemplates suicide later on having been left "in the lurch at a church"; in the second, he wonders if in that location is a god; finally, he laments the expiry of his parents. O'Sullivan has said the song is not autobiographical: his mother was alive during its composition; O'Sullivan was xi when his father, who was cruel to his mother, died, and he'southward said that he didn't know his male parent well.[vii] O'Sullivan afterwards commented "Neil Diamond covered "Alone Again (Naturally)" and said he couldn't believe a 21-twelvemonth-quondam wrote it, but for me it was just 1 song I had written".[viii] Neil Sedaka was similarly effusive in his praise for the song, stating every bit he covered the song in 2022 that he wished that he himself had written the song because its complication was more typical of a human being much older than 21.[nine] The song is included on O'Sullivan'south The Berry Vest of Gilbert O'Sullivan anthology (2004) on the EMI tape label. Big Jim Sullivan plays the guitar intermission in the original recorded version of the vocal.

Maison Ikkoku [edit]

This song, forth with another ane of O'Sullivan's songs, "Get Down", were featured equally the opening and ending for episode 24 of the Japanese anime hit Maison Ikkoku. At the time, O'Sullivan was signed to production company Kitty Picture show's associated record label, Kitty Records, which wanted to utilise the anime's popularity as a way to promote the singer's career in Japan. According to series director Kazuo Yamazaki, the reason the songs were dropped after only ane episode was that they were unpopular with viewers; due to copyright issues, they were non included on the English language-language American release of the anime, replaced by the previously used Japanese theme songs. The anime was based upon the popular manga of the aforementioned proper noun by Rumiko Takahashi.

The song was as well used as the ending theme for the 1986 alive-action Maison Ikkoku film, Apartment Fantasy.

Notable cover versions [edit]

Many artists have covered the song. Among the more notable are a version by Nina Simone, included as a bonus runway on the 1988 digital reissue of her 1982 anthology Fodder on My Wings; and a version by Lazlo Bane'south frontman Chad Fischer, from the 2009 animated flick Water ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Both versions feature substantially rewritten lyrics; Simone's version savagely exhumes her troubled relationship with her tardily father, whereas Fischer's version explores the unrequited desire of an acorn for the prehistoric squirrel who one time chased it. Likewise in 2015, Diana Krall released a duet version with Michael Bublé on her album titled "Wallflower".[27]
